Class Related Consumption and the Ability to Resist Commercial Temptations in the Age of Commercialism
This article investigates vulnerabilities related to commercial pressure and asks whether the ability to resist commercial temptations is class related.

Given the importance of trust and confidence for the individual consumer's well-being and societies' overall consumer conditions, this paper intends to conceptualize, investigate and map European consumer markets' trust regimes.

The material reveals large differences in consumer…

We find empiric…
